Develop the First 3D-Printing eCommerce Platform in South East Asia - KEU Print

Today, technologies are mushrooming, they could integrate with one another, or by the technology itself to disrupt an ordinary practice in the society.

eCommerce – a new way of shopping and selling that blended into people’s lifestyle within the short years. Online sales/shopping moved from domestic to cross-border; combining online & offline (O2O) physical store or even IoT to encourage transaction, some may call this “Future Retailing” or “New Retail”.

However, the retail business practices still remain mandate that:

• Manufacturers are still applying Minimum Order Quantity or intolerant on product cost for small quantity production.
• Retail Industry is still holding on product production, warehousing, inventory management, stock clearance sales, product competency etc as basic operation flow.
• Whereby, Consumers are still habitually doing the price check before placing an order.

As such, if a business solution that integrated with new technologies that could disrupt all these practices, would you support to make this happen?

We hope your answer is “YES!”, because:

The Digital Fabrication eCommerce Platform enables -

• Manufacturer relieves from cost concerns. They may enjoy a lower moulding cost and even do a single piece production.
• Retail Industry could eliminate tedious operation flows - warehousing, tie by minimum order quantity, inventory management, below price sales campaign and other challenges.
• Consumers could determine the material and design that they purchased. No more choose from the rack option.

Shopping is a lifestyle - More Fun, More Personalize; More Stylish and Customizable - are the motive of KEU Print !

Reasons for you to support KEU Print

Consumer perspective:

The idea of KEU Print is to provide a simple way for the consumer to shop for a digital fabrication product from the online platform as usual. They may browse and select a favourite product design, then match it with own favourite materials or colours before checkout for payment. Once the order been made, the product will be produced, via a suitable digital fabrication method - 3D printing, CAD, laser cutting and etc, as per order and delivery to the customer after the entire printing and polishing process.

If you have a 3D printer at home or around you, you may choose to buy only digital design files and print it yourself without buying a real merchandise from the market. This will realize the concept of "real-time delivery" in eCommerce - receive a purchased product without delivery taking place.

The person behind KEU Print:

I am currently serving in an association of the technology industry, to help to promote the business network and knowledge sharing among members. The association serve to enhance common interests among industries, and as a platform for continuous learning and sharing among the industry peers. Nonetheless, I was under the eCommerce unit of the Malaysian technology public sector lead (MDEC) and it was a pleasured to be one of the main players in the pioneer team of #MYCYBERSALE -  the Malaysian Online Sales Festival; also joined in other projects that promote domestic e-commerce economic activities. 

Due to the job nature, I have great opportunities to learn from other countries, however, it is sad to see Malaysia is usually 5 years behind the global trend. Therefore,  I hope through this crowdfunding event could achieve a certain level of awareness, collect market interest and most importantly is to get funding to develop the complicated marketplace system to enable the idea to roll out.  

Currently, the project is still in the preparation, study and discussion stage. I hope through the crowdfunding, I can receive sufficient amount to establish the platform, to do engagement with product designers and digital fabrication partner.

Sincerely appreciate your support and being confident in this project! 

Million Thanks!
